RE: The monkey is off my back!
Congratz,Taz,
I know the feeling! Last year,I was in an "any legal deer mode",and this doe came down the mountain,behind me,in the brush. She got to about 60 yrds of me,saw me,but did not get my scent.She then turned and proceeded to angle around me.I could see her,but in no way have a shot.At a hundred yards distance,she came down to pass me,but stopped in a little fire lane to look at me.
Big mistake for her,as soon as I saw some space behind her shoulder,I put her down.When I got to "her" she had a nice 6 point rack,easy to see.I just never looked at her head,I just concentrated on getting a shot to the boilerroom.Like I said,I know the feeling.
